How To Measure Your Window For The Perfect Roller blind
1. Inside the Window (Recess Fitting)
When fitting inside a window recess, we make the deductions for you to ensure a perfect finish. Use the following guide to install your wooden blinds
Give us the exact size of your window opening. We do the math for you.
Step 1: Measure the full width and height of the inside of your window recess.
Step 2: Enter those exact measurements into the order form.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Do NOT make any deductions yourself. We will automatically subtract the necessary amount to ensure the brackets fit perfectly inside your window.
How it works: The fabric will always be slightly narrower than the window to leave room for the brackets.
Standard Fixings: Fabric will be 3.5cm narrower than the measurement you provide.
No-Drill Fixings: Fabric will be 4.7cm narrower than the measurement you provide.
In both cases, the total width (fabric + brackets) will match your inside recess window size perfectly.
EXAMPLE IF ORDERING NO DRILL : if your inside recess is 100cm wide, we will make the blind material to 95.3cm wide and then once the end fittings are applied the overall width will then be 100cm wide
PLEASE NOTE: If you have obstructions (like tiling) to ensure a precise fit, measure the narrowest point between any obstructions and use this as your width. We will then handle the necessary width deductions for the brackets automatically.
PLEASE BEAR THE ABOVE INFO IN MIND WHEN ORDERING FOR AN INSIDE RECESS AS THE BLIND FABRIC WILL VARY IN WIDTH DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF FITTING YOU CHOOSE
2. Outside the Window (Exact Fitting)
We do not apply deductions to Exact size orders. We will make your blinds to the specific measurements you enter
EASYTURN NO DRILL NOT APPLICABLE FOR OUTSIDE THE WINDOW
You tell us exactly how wide you want the fabric to be.
Step 1: Measure your window opening.
Step 2: Add at least 7cm to the width (this allows a 3.5cm overlap on each side to block out light).
Step 3: Enter this final "plus-size" measurement into the order form.
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: We will make the fabric the exact width you order. However, the brackets will add an extra 3.5cm to the overall width. Please ensure you have enough wall space to accommodate the brackets on either side of the fabric.
For example, if your measurement is 100cm wide, we will make the blind material to 100cm wide and then once the end fittings are applied the overall width will then be 103.5cm wide.
3. Split Blinds (For Inside Recess Fitting)
1. The Width Measurement (Recess Size) Measure from the far left edge of the recess wall to your pencil split mark. Repeat this process for the right-hand blind (measuring from the split mark to the far right edge).
⚠️ Crucial Note for Recess Fits: When ordering, select "Recess Size." We will automatically make a small deduction to your provided widths to ensure the brackets fit perfectly.
2. The Drop Measurement Measure the height of your window recess in three places (left, centre, right). Use the smallest measurement as your final drop to ensure the blinds don't hit the sill.
4. Split Blinds (Outside the Window (Exact Fitting)
1. The Width Measurement (Exact Size) Decide how far past the window opening you want your blind to overlap. Measure from that outer starting point to your central pencil split mark. Repeat for the second blind.
2. The Drop Measurement Determine where you want the top of the blind to be mounted (above the window) and where you want the bottom bar to rest (usually past the windowsill). Measure the exact distance between these two points.
